Hay mites

[Lake24]

Hiya, I’m pretty sure one of my girls has quite a few hay mites (enough to be making her w bit itchy) I only noticed these tonight. I have read about medicated shampoos and ivermectin but should I call the vets tomorrow? If it’s okay just to order the appropriate treatment can anybody recommend where from?

I also use hay box hay which I presume is where they have come from. Can anyone recommend a hay I could get from pets at home/jolleys in the morning as a replacement for now?

Thank you

Please get them seen by a vet for diagnosis and the proper strength treatment dosed for their weight. Shampoos will not work and we never recommend treating on spec with any pet shop products which are too low dosed to be effective.

Good luck at the vets. I hope she’s soon feeling more comfortable.
